Subject: vhost-net: remove unlocked use of receive_queue
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.39-rc1~390^2~12^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=de4d768a428d9de943dd6dc82bcd61742955cb6e

vhost-net: remove unlocked use of receive_queue

Use of skb_queue_empty(&sock->sk->sk_receive_queue)
without taking the sk_receive_queue.lock is unsafe
or useless. Take it out.
